Greetings all, I'll be heading up the ICW and offshore in an Elling E4 starting Monday. Just finished a delivery trip down from Norfolk to Georgetown SC on a Hatteras Sportfisher. Feel free to contact me for your needs no matter how brief or long. I'm based near Charleston SC. Pic is me and owner in Charleston at fuel dock. Capt Garry
The boat looks familiar, was it in Fort Lauderdale at Marina Bay for a few years? If so I helped the owner put a 6 pack Offshore Viking life raft on it, about 2019?
When I read that you helped onload a 6 pack, I thought it was the previous owner. But then I read life-raft and know it was the current owner (sorry John if you're reading this, LoL). But, yep, same one which primarily was docked in Ft. Lauderdale, Cocoa and then Naples but is now headed up the East Coast obviously. What's really cool is this was the Linssen that I had as a dealer demo and sold her to her subsequent owners - the cool part is the current and previous owner are both retired merchant mariners. Thanks, Capt. Gary, boat and owner look happy For any newbies, post 2014, here's my review: https://www.yachtforums.com/review/elling-49-e4.22489/
Yep, same boat then. The previous owner and I drove to Miami and picked up a raft each, then we delivered them to our boats and celebrated the event for the remainder of the day. Checked my files, this was at or about March 1st, 2020. Time flies..
